Re: Gear swap Axle troubles

Rust (?) curious if your new 4.10 center sat around for years and years and has a bit of rust in the spline area of the side gear on the side that's giving you problems? With the trouble axle in place if you lightly tap it in with a hammer does it get stuck and you have to pry it back out to get it loose again? If so I'll bet it's A light film of rust. Spraying A bit of WD-40 on the splines of the axle then working the splines in and out of spider gear you may be able to carefully remove that rust film and finally slide the axle in freely.
